We traveled from Michigan and were hoping to enjoy the ocean and relax on the beach. What a beautiful 2 BR condo this was with a large balcony across the master BR and living room. We were able to have breakfast and lunch in our condo @ our leisure and would go out in the evening to dinner and shopping. Everything was close enough to drive about 1-2 miles away. My husband and daughter brought their bikes and enjoyed the bike trails. My youngest daughter used the free WiFi with her ipod touch with no problems at all. It was quiet enough on the beach to enjoy our own space and the waves and water were amazing.(and we are spoiled by the Lake Michigan sandy beaches 5 minutes from home). I certainly loved a washer and dryer in the room as we traveled lighter and went home with the laundry done. I was concerned the girls would be bored in NMB (ages 15,19,23) but they enjoyed the quieter area and after we drove to MB and saw how packed the beaches are and the busy area I was definitely pleased with our choice. The pool was a little small but never busy and there was a whole wide ocean out there with lifeguards too. We would love to go back there!

This was our first stay in a Wyndham resort and I am not overly impressed. The condo itself had recently been remodeled so it was clean and nice. The carpets, furniture, drapes had all been replaced and walls painted. It looked to have older cabinets, countertops and tile so I don't think they replaced those, but they were not in bad condition. There are two issues I had with the condo....1) it was small. Probably only 500 -600 sq ft for a 1 br with little storage except the br closet. 2) we had a single balcony. This is one of 4 rooms in the resort to have a single balcony while all others had a double (balcony from bedroom and living room). Seems that many of the people who stay here have deeds to a specific room and date so those that do not own here will get these half balcony rooms.

On the plus side, the view of the beach from the balcony was spectacular. This makes up for the other issues in my mind...afterall that is why we are there.

I was leery when I first pulled into the resort as there is no main entry or anything. It is just a parking garage on the 1st level. To get from your room to the pool/beach you will walk thru the garage each and every time you leave your condo. just does not seem welcoming, but this is an older resort so there is not much you can do about it now. The advantage to this is that we were on the 2nd floor and could litterally park outside our door to the condo. This made unpacking and packing a snap.

The pools are fairly disappointing at first. I posted some pics, but 85% of the main pool is indoors and a very small (hot tub size) portion is outside. While I at first did not like this it grew on me as the week went on as I have two small children and it was a nice change to get out of the sun for a while to swim. Still, if you like to sit around the pool on your vacation this is not the place for you. Another thing about the indoor pool was that it never seemed crowded. At most there would be 8-10 people in it and often times it was just my family. Mind you we were there on 4th of July week and the place was booked so I can't imagine it ever gets very busy.

The activities offered by the resort were nice. The kids really enjoyed them. We took part in a watermelon eating contest, balloon toss, skittle hunt, hermit crab races, ice cream sundae social and others. The activities folks were very nice and the kids looked forward each day to the events they had planned.

By the way, we did the sales presentation and did not feel highly pressured or anything. We were in and out in less than an hour and for our time we were given two $25 restaurant gift cards and two tickets to Ripleys Aquarium (a definite must at least once). I thought it was fair compensation and would do it again if offered.

Also, just remembered...the high speed internet was not the best. Connections seemed to drop within the room a lot, but worked on the balcony great. I have ATT service and it was nonexistent inside the rooms...would not even work on the balcony had to go to other side of the hotel (parking garage) to get reception.

The in-laws let us use part of their timeshare and we had a great time. Plenty of room on a clean beach while the oil was hitting the shore in the gulf. The staff was friendly. The rooms were modern and clean with a great view of the ocean. The kids loved the pool(s). It is not in the busy nightlife area of myrtle beach so be prepared to get in the car but it is a great place to take the kids.

This was our second time in Myrtle Beach.Last time we stayed at Sand Dunes. We stayed at Wyndham Westwind last Aug1,2009 x 1 week.The area is not so crowded.The room is clean and neat. Our oceanfront balcony is wide that it covers the living room and the bedroom..The staff are so friendly and accomodating although we waited for a while because we arrived early and our room was not ready.They always greet you with a smile which makes me feel more comfortable. The only thing is that their pool is small but its okay for us because we prefer to stay in the beach.
